The final thrilling chapter in the Tristan and Isolde trilogy . . .
Isolde, heir to the throne of the queens, is now a sovereign in her
own right. With the glories of the throne comes the responsibility
of a queen, and Isolde knows she must return to her beloved Western
Isle. She can no longer tolerate her marriage to King Mark of
Cornwall, a marriage she has accepted for years in order to save
her country from the threat of war and to be near her only love,
Mark's nephew Tristan of Lyonesse. King Mark, always cowardly and
spiteful, is too heavily influenced by his monks and counselors,
who loathe the powerful and independent Isolde. And so she leaves
Cornwall for good and comes home to Ireland, where her lords face a
growing threat from the warlike Picti, who live in the barren
highlands to the north of England. The Picti have a bold new king,
Darath, who is determined to take the riches of Ireland for his own
people, whether by war or by marriage with Isolde.
Isolde gathers her armies to confront the Picti and faces a violent
conflict as well with King Mark, who vows he will not let a prize
like Isolde, and Ireland, slip from his grasp. Isolde is last in a
line of famous warrior queens who have guarded Ireland from time
before memory, and now she--and her knight, Tristan--must play out
their fate and face her enemies in a final battle, a war that could
spell ruin for them both.
